Lamentations for what is not needed. There are no lamentations for what is needed. Is this normal?

I understood that during the Crusades, between hundreds and a few thousand Jews were probably killed.
(Thousands of people were killed in the Crusades all over the world)
Although the narrative we built on this is from here to…ever and ever.

But there are laments and it is a dramatic event.

A few decades ago, about a third of our 6 million people were brutally murdered, and no laments are printed for that.

Is there a plausible explanation?

There are laments about this too, and there is nothing stopping you from saying them. It is clear that the authority of the first and the antiquity of those laments have an impact. But all of this is psychology and not substance.
